Congestion on surrounding roads means that the rail replacement buses scheduled to run to / from East Grinstead are delayed.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer advice:
There is a rail replacement bus service running between Three Bridges / Gatwick Airport and East Grinstead today. Unfortunately, due to a water shortage problem in East Grinstead, South East Water have set up a water collection point in the Sainsbury's car park next to East Grinstead station.
Due to this, there is extremely heavy traffic on the surrounding roads, delaying buses that are running to East Grinstead station.
This is now affecting rail replacement bus services at both Three Bridges and Gatwick Airport.
